Windows 7: First Custom Build....BSOD errors and flickering screen

To clear it up: right now we are trying to determine if the flickering is due to a bad cable/connection or really the GPU or drivers.
For now, I can't answer your question, because I don't have enough data about what is really going on.

So - I did a little investigating. On Newegg's product page for my graphics card, there's a discrepancy between the listed outputs (1xHDMI, 1xDVI-D) and what is physically present on the card (1xHDMI,2xDVI-D,1xVGA). Under the questions/ratings section there's a comment which says, "The picture is right, but the card can only run 2 monitors because of the chipset."

I am now beginning to feel like an idiot, but is there a way I can confirm or deny that? I am, however, currently running the system with 3 monitors (all are using extended display).

Had a good search through gigabyte website and all four variations of your card are listed multi view = 2, suggesting only two monitors will work.
After googling lots pf people seem to run three but it seems they use specific ports and cant use both dvi at the same time, found some links that may help you but I reckon a display port adapter may be the way forward

Yay! GFX was going to be my next stop. It's interesting because I am running all three monitors (HDMI, 2xDVI) with no real issue except the occasional program windows flickering (unless this is also causing the BSOD issues).

So I've had a few more computer freezes and a couple more BSOD's. One of these actually happened in Safe Mode (the most recent minidump) while I was troubleshooting another issue. I'm uploading a new DM Log with the 3 new minidumps.

Interesting note: these computer freezes will sometimes log me out of all the websites I stay logged into (this one, facebook, etc). The username/password info still autofills, but I'm logged out of the sites.

Please tell me what the 3.3v, 5v and 12v values are in the BIOS.
The reason I can't load some dumps properly is likely due to hardware damage, there are just a few reasons why a bluescreen would occur in safe mode and 1 of them is hardware damage.

Note

The GPU test hasn't been added, because the GPU isn't used in safe mode.

Your CPU temperatures will rise quickly while under this stress test. Keep a keen eye on them and abort the test if overheating occurs.
